National WHS Radar
Delivering regular and actionable insights about work health and safety in an Australian context.
The Centre for Work Health and Safety has launched the National WHS Radar, an initiative that will deliver the latest insights on work health and safety in Australian workplaces twice a year.
The National WHS Radar will empower Australian regulators, academics, and leaders to take a proactive approach to WHS, informing existing and future policies, practices, and research projects.
How can you get involved?
The first round of the National WHS Radar survey will be released on Monday 9 January 2023 and will be open until Tuesday 31 January 2023.
Take the survey now and go in the draw to win a $500 gift card.
We encourage you to share the survey with your network so we gather as many experiences from Australian workers as possible.
How does it work?
Every six months, the Centre’s Research Team will delve into a range of new WHS data and evidence.
The team will incorporate data from these five streams:
- existing data, including incidents, worker’s compensation, ABS, and prosecutions
- analysis of grey literature
- social media listening
- nationwide survey of WHS inspectors and experts
- nationwide survey of Australian workers across all industries
The Team will then analyse and synthesise this information into reports that will be made publicly available.
What’s the benefit?
This type of reporting has never been done at this scale and frequency in Australia.
The National WHS Radar Reports will deliver relevant, local, and current information into the hands of the people who can effect real change, and ultimately create safer workplaces in Australia.
Where can I read the reports?
The National WHS Radar Reports will be shared on the Centre's website and other communication channels.
The first report will be released in April 2023.
